Mondello track day

There is a butterfly valve on the exit of the inner pipe on mine similar to the 330ci; it remains closed on part throttle for drive-by noise regs. I have it disconnected (it defaults to open). That could be it alright. Good diagnostics, Brendan!

I have a video to either upload or put on disc, but it's 103MB!  Probably not worth anyones time watching it either!!!  Contains about 27 minutes of driving on track.

having watched it, I need to redesign my camera stand so the the camera sits higher - dash got in the way!!!

Narusa - couldn't get that DVD to play!!! Also, forgot to give you a blank disc.

@ TJ; If you want to PM me with your e-mail I'll try & send you a small video clip which has the sound real good.

The quary near Ringaskiddy could actually be a good place to do it. You would be safe enough standing out on that road and you can push it a bit too...

Should be funny to see the "Foxy Stig" in action. Can't imagine myself askin him to do me a favour and raz the ass off MY car past me... Haaaa Haaaaa Haaaaa... Should be hilarious...

No, you were definately at high revs...

To be honest it does not sound too far off a turbo whistle.. Sounds pretty good if ya ask me. I'm sure if ya want to hear it, one of the lads, probably nugget, could give it a raz down the link or somethin past ya. Might have to ask him nicely as he doesn't really like bootin it....

@ T.J., ya i meant to say that to you too. There is a savage whistle off it. Sounded nuts bootin down the straight. Is it a standard factory exhaust you have on it?

Was I the only one? Auto worked really well actually. Held it in 2nd for all the corners then allowed it to shift up to 3rd on the main straight, the straight down to turn 3 and the run up to Dunlop. Then when still accelerating I could pre-select 2nd and as I braked and the speed reduced enough 2nd would engage itself leaving me to concentrate on braking and steering. All very smooth and all the upshifts consistantly on the red line.

 

@ TJ; That's a nice car you have, especially the colour! What causes that magic whistling sound from your car as it passed the pits? A few cars have that sound.

 

@ US M3; It'll probably be a few days before I get a chance to follow that up. Even when I do I won't know if it's worked until I've the car back on the track as there's no problem on the road. Thank's for your help.

why did i sell my bmw!!!!!!

Yes its only 2.5 ,but this time i was much  happier  how it behaved  on the track.Since the last BDD i  upgraded  front brakes from  325 e36 to 330e46 with RedStuff pads and dot5.1 brake fluid.And it made BIG improvement.Every single lap i was able to brake  right at 100meters mark on the main stright,at that point  car was traveling about 165-170 km/h.
